DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body of the tray in accordance with the present invention comprises a hood 1, an upper sliding mount 2, a main frame 3 and a plurality of plates 4. As shown in FIG. 1, it is a preferred configuration of the tray in accordance with the present invention. The hood 1 is connected to the sliding mount 2 and the blocking plate 11 at the hood 1 is used an urging function when the sliding mount 2 is depressed. The hood 1 can be mounted with lighting device.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper sliding mount 2 is a hollow frame structure having a top end connected to the hood 1 so that the entire sliding mount 2 is positioned within the hollow body of the main frame 3. There are magnetic components 21, 31 on the sliding mount 2 and the main frame 3 and are attracted to each other. The top portion of the sliding mount 2 is provided with sufficient distance to allow movement. The upper section of the sliding mount 2 and the main frame 3 are attracted by way of magnetic components 21, 31 at corresponding positions. When the sliding mount 2 is inserted into the hollow body of the main frame 3, it is positioned by the attraction force of the magnet components. When the sliding mount 2 is depressed, the magnetic component 21 will not move away from the main frame 3, as shown in FIG. 4. Thus there are corresponding magnetic component 22 positioned at the plate 4 and the middle section of the plate 4 is provided with a magnetic component 41 to repel magnetic component 23, as shown in FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the number of plates depends on the shape of the main frame 3, for instance FIG. 8 (triangular) and FIG. 9 (hexagonal). The plate 4 and the main frame 3 are attached together. The plate 4 can be either in extended form or in a closing form When the sliding mount 2 is depressed to move, the magnetic component 22 will move and repel the magnetic component 23 so that the plate 4 is pushed away, as shown in FIG. 7.

Each plate 4 is provided with notch 42 when it is extended, and the top and middle position of the plate 4 is a lining arm 43 which is pivotally connected to the main frame 3 such that the plate 4 is extended about the linking arm 43.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main frame 3 has a rotating disc 30 at the bottom of the frame 3 and is also provided with magnetic component 31. The main frame 3 is provided with railing slot 32 corresponding to the linking arm 43 for the storage of the linking arm 43. Each corner of the main frame 3 is provided with rows of notches 33 which is in horizontal position with that of the notches 42 of the plate, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.

While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
